Thanks for sharing your experience. It's always helpful to have this kind of info archived on the list so that others can find it.

I was unable to get the static linking to work, because I was unable to get the VC++ 2003 Toolkit compiler and trying static linking with gcc gives lots of errors.

That would be the expected behaviour, I guess. Even using newer MS compilers with the VC-2003 compiled Python interpreter does not work, from what I've heard. That's been discussed on python-dev for some other extensions a while ago. Don't remember the result, though... Stefan
